DURING EPDEMICS Mtealve Chldren Wil B Free from - suwmm. Doubt es to the wisdom of closing schools in epidemics of contagious disease - is expressed by Dr, Francis leorge Curtis, of Newton,, Mass., in & bullétin' on the “Health of School Children,” just issued by the bureau of education. He says: “If the «nchoola are closed when a outbreak qcaun. the, children ‘are turned 1oose { from supervision; they mingle freely © with gne another in the streets, on playgrousds, ‘and in . each. other’s “houses, They are having an extra vacation and enjoying themselves thoroughly and are unwilling to admit that they feel ill, lest they be kept at home and prevented from having 2 good time. For this reason they will not say. they feel ill until-the disease is. well advanced, and they may be active sources of infection for some * time before it is discovered that they \ are {lL . "If the schools are kept open and ' ‘the children continue in the & class- rooms as usual, they are under strict observation and examined daily by the school physician, suspicious and in- fected cases being sent home for oh- - ‘servation or treatment. #“In this way many children are sent home before they have had an oppor- tunity to infect others, thus reducing | the probability of spreading infection. F\ln‘her than this, the attention of the " parents is called to the fact that the b child is feeling ill and He is brought P under treatment earlier. ...'Tt seems, therefore, that keeping ithe schools open offers the best chance [ of safety for the pupils, both collecs tively and individually. 7“Instead of closing the schools and llowing the children to be scattered d removed from supervision, when L outbreak appears the schools hould be kept open as usual and tho [ ghildren urged to attend. The school ysician and nurse should be de- falled to the school where the out- break has appeared and instructed to examine every child daily, excluding h as appear ill or suspicious. This can be done with very little disturb- ance of the school work. A note must be sent to the parent stating that tho child seems, or is, ill and must he 'seen by. the family physician. Sus- picious cases must be ordered to re- main at home until further notice, and, if necessary, must be visited in order to settle the diagnosis. Ab- fientees must be rounded up and ex- famined in order to find out why taey a\e been kept at home. If they are , they must be isolated, and, if well, sed to return to school.” VTNS, of course, appliés to schools cities in’ which sehool physicians, nurseg, or both are employed.

Baltimore, Md.; May 14.—Better pay for work-house prisoners was urged by Karl L. Schreiber, superin- tendent of the parole department of the board of public welfare in Kan- sas City, ‘Mo, in an address deliv- ered yesterday at the National Con- ference of Charities and Correction, In line with the moden purpose of imprisonment, which was largely to straighten out the attitude of the criminal towards society and to in-! still him with a desire to ‘“‘make | g00d"” when liberated, Mr, Schreiber ! declared that the community which allowed its penal institutions to turn out human products much the worss for incarceration, should close thei doors altogether to keep other unfor- tunates out. § Recommends Municipal Farms. Telling of economies and benefil worked by the municipal farm Kansas City, Mr. Schreiber recom- Lmended such institutions. to other i communities, He told how the pris- oners at the Kansas City farm had erected their own buildings and larsr- {1y provided their own equipment an: | reduced the net cost for each prisoner |a day #8 only 24.7 cents. Every yea: i this coSt was being still further re- duced. The farm, he said, provided { work of many kinds to the benefit of |-the prisoners’ health and earning cn- pacity, and during the last few dave 1 of a prisoner’s stay on the farm his | wage was increased to $1° per dm; and the sum earned was given to the | men for their needs when liberated, The board of public welfare, wh!r'1 has charge of the municipal farm: also allowed to every family depéndant upon prisoners at the farm an amount up to $1 a day. Citizen Not Criminal, Pointing out evidences of the in- Justicé to men who had been turned ‘out of the work houses and peneten- tiaries without any improvement in their condition, he said: ‘“Let us give a wage to the man who earns it and) allow him to come out from the prison with clean, pressed clothes, some money in his pocket and with the assistance of. some organizations to get him started right, or with some place to go besides his old haunt.” He said the inmate of the workhouse was to be considered a citizen, not a criminal. ‘“He needs help because he failed before and his success will deépend upon the encouragement and assistance he will receive from those who know his weaknesses and how best to help him overcome them.” The argument that a uniform wage in the workhouse might induce many men to. enter, was inconsequential, he believed, but granted there was such a tendency it was still thé duty of the community to care for its unemployed and if there were those so unfortunate as to seek work in a penal Institution, they might properly apply for admit- tance and be given proper keep and wages. “This will take the place,” e concluded, ‘“of municipal lodging houses, bread lines and other agencies that now exist for the care of these unfortunates.” | | | i !

Britain and Japan paid large sums to retire their sealing fleets, “obvious- Iy expécting to be reimbursed in the near future by their 15 per cent. share of land sealing’ The United States reserved the right to suspend Iand sealing if necessary to protect and preserve the seal hérd and to increase its number. This suspension occurred in 1912, '~ The report contends that now, after three seasons without com- mercial sealing, there is no necessity for continued suspension. “The cenditions of the seal herd in 1914, says the report, “is such that resumption of commercial seal- ing on a moderate scale in 1915 could be undertaken with confidence that When your liver is working and your digestion is right, the whole world seems bright to you.

The inference is clear that unless sealing is resumed agitation will continue and integrity of a most desirable ~treaty ~endan- gered.” People Semi-Civilized. The voluminous report states that the people of the Pribilof Islands, though not natives, have for so long made the islands their home that they recognize no other. ‘“They are a peo- | ple still semi-civilized,” says the re-' port. They constitute a heritage ac. quired by the United States with the islands and their valuable wild in- habitants and considerations of econ- omy and humanity demand that they be accepted as.such and managed with all possible wisdom and fair- ness, “Many changes in the methods of necessary. In their management a wreat deal will depend on the person- ulity of the officlals in charge. It is believed that the work necessary to put the sealing plant on an efficient basis and the Tesumption in the near future of commercial sealing, accom- panied by a better system of compen- | sation and the opportunity of ex-| changing the reward of their labor ac- | cording to their desires, will help to make the natives self-respecting | #nd the people may become an en- | tirely self-supporting, efficient, happy community.” Only Two Restrictions, There are good reasons, from béth | economy and welfare of the seal herd, | to resume commercial sealing at once, the report concludes.
